Benefits Of Home Ventilation System

The main purpose of a home ventilation system is to supply fresh air in to the home while at the same time removing stale and polluted air from the home in order to maintain a healthy living environment. With insufficient home ventilation, pollutants can be concentrated. These pollutants come from many sources. Heat Recovery Ventilators, Air Exchangers, Kitchen and Bathroom Exhaust Fans, Attic Ventilation Fans, Dryer Vents and Attic and Crawl Space Vents are all important components of proper home ventilation.

Poor ventilation can cause allergens, mold and smoke which may lead to respiratory problems in the people suffering from fever or asthma. Mold can also spoil paintwork, fabrics such as curtains and sofas and even make a home inhabitable. Mildew and rot can also be the results of high humidity levels. Humidity levels that are too low can also cause problems. Dry, itchy skin or nose and throat irritation can be caused by low humidity.
